That was cool Bruce !!!

I think i was just as excited here as you, everytime you dived in for a new piece 

Sorry that the 55 got damaged, but fortunately a relatively easy fix. Otherwise a very nice haul, and all together well worth the investment.

Thanks Jan, even though I had sent a msg right away to please package the Jensen #55 carefully ,as that was the reason for the whole purchase....he didn't, he had a few pieces of bubble pack between the layers & that was it, really a miracle that more damage was not done  , Yes the Jensen should be a relatively easy fix , its in really good condition considering that it was bashing everything else in the box, the Fleischman lineshaft was also petty nice. I need to find out more about that little vertical Weeden , its a parts engine but I can tell it had little use & the electric heater still works. that little alcohol burner is a pretty neat item as well, the wick is held in that apparatus that raises up & down, I'm kind of interested to try that out today.

Thanks again Jan for the tip
